    Abstract This document presents a review that covers the United States potential biomass resource for exports compared to the current levels the European Union and United Kingdom receive, and addresses current and potential risks, opportunities and challenges to increasing the volume of imports regarding sustainability of forest ecosystems before climate change, current forest management, and other factors such as social, economic, conservation, and sustainability of natural resources in the United States, when producing forest biomass for wood pellet production in Southern United States. From this review, it can be concluded that the majority of forest biomass assessments projections showed that forest biomass from the Southeast of the USA for wood pellets production in 2030 could vary from 74 million dry tons up to 95 million dry tons depending on the increment on prices per dry ton, and for 2050 could range from 85 for low consumption scenario to 162 million dry tons for high consumption scenario using a conversion factor of 2 green tons per one ton of wood pellets. Research needs are also pointed out in the document.

    Abstract A review covering a synopsis of the history of forest sustainability concepts and how it has led to the social, economic, and legal frameworks, criteria and indicators, and key incentive programs, which promote and influence conservation and sustainable management of forests in the United States of America is presented in two parts. The main findings show that the United States of America is a world leader in sustainable forest management, demonstrated by the fact that since the beginning of the 20ᵗʰ Century, forest area has been relatively stable although the population has increased, and the country remains one of the top timber producers in the world. Sustainable forest management in the United States of America is achieved in the context of private and public ownership, stakeholder collaboration, a federalist system with overarching federal laws that give freedom to state and local jurisdictions to use regulatory and voluntary means to achieve those aims, and a variety of government incentive programs offering technical assistance, financial assistance, and tax relief for landowners who proactively practice responsible forest management. This framework is reinforced through consistent enforcement of laws, monitoring, and reporting of changing conditions, and an array of future modeling to inform management actions.

    Abstract A highly enantio- and diastereoselective dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of configurationally labile 3-aryl indole-2-carbaldehydes is described. The DKR proceeds via a Rh-catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric reductive aldol reaction with acrylate esters, with simultaneous generation of three stereogenic elements. The strategy relies on the labilization of the stereogenic axis that takes place thanks to a transient Lewis acid-base interaction (LABI) between the formyl group and a thioether moiety strategically located at the

    Abstract Fuel treatments and other forest restoration thinning practices aim to reduce wildfire risk while building forest resilience to drought, insects, and diseases and increasing aboveground carbon (C) sequestration. However, fuel treatments generate large amounts of unmerchantable woody biomass residues that are often burned in open piles, releasing significant quantities of greenhouse gases and particulates, and potentially damaging the soil beneath the pile. Air curtain burners offer a solution to mitigate these issues, helping to reduce smoke and particulates from burning operations, more fully burn biomass residues compared to pile burning, and eliminate the direct and intense fire contact that can harm soil beneath the slash pile. In an air curtain burner, burning takes place in a controlled environment. Smoke is contained and recirculated by the air curtain, and therefore burning can be conducted under a variety of climatic conditions (e.g., wind, rain, snow), lengthening the burning season for disposal of slash material. The mobile pyrolysis unit that continuously creates biochar was specifically designed to dispose of residual woody biomass at log landings, green wood at landfills, or salvaged logged materials and create biochar in the process. This high-carbon biochar output can be used to enhance soil resilience by improving its chemical, physical, and biological properties and has potential applications in remediating contaminated soils, including those at abandoned mine sites. Here, we describe the general use of this equipment, appropriate siting, loading methods, quenching requirements, and lessons learned about operating this new technology.

    Abstract This tutorial review provides a systematic overview of the available methodologies for the atroposelective transformation of (heterobiaryl)biaryl precursors toward the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched products and the conceptual aspects associated to each type of transformation. Depending on the presence or absence of symmetry in the starting material and the participation of racemization or dynamization events along the process, several strategies have been developed, including desymmetrization, classical kinetic resolution (KR), dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT). Seminal contributions and a handful of selected examples are discussed to illustrate the potential of these synthetic tools.

    Abstract Surveys were collected to assess Forest Service (FS) resource managers’ perceptions, attitudes, and informational needs related to climate change and its potential impacts on forests and grasslands. Resource managers with three background types were surveyed. All participants generally considered themselves to be well-informed on climate change issues, although each resource manager group had different perceptions of climate change effects on natural resources. They shared similar views on the most potentially useful sources of information and that there was less concern at the Ranger District level about climate change. Administrative issues, including funding, were viewed by all participants as serious obstacles inhibiting agency action. Results of these surveys should provide insight for increasing science delivery efforts, providing educational opportunities, and developing guidance and training for FS resource managers. As a result, the agency can continue to provide science-based tools which assist in conserving and maintaining healthy, resilient ecosystems.

    Abstract Background: The results of CHOP-21 (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone given every 21 days) for the treatment of aggressive B-cell lymphoma have recently been improved by the addition of rituximab and by increasing the dose density. R-CHOP-14 combines these two approaches.
    Patients and methods: We present our experience with R-CHOP-14 in a retrospective single-centre review of 50 patients consecutively treated for aggressive B-cell lymphoma.
    Results: The median age was 59 years and 48% of patients were >60 years. Stage III-IV was present in 62% of the patients and international prognostic index was high-to-intermediate risk or high risk in 32% of the patients. Toxicity was mainly haematological, with grade 3-4 neutropenia observed in 32% and febrile neutropenia in 18%. Other relevant toxicities were peripheral neuropathy in 45% (grade 3 in 4%) and cardiac dysfunction grade 3 in 7.5%. After therapy, 82% of the patients achieved complete response or unproved complete response. With a median follow-up of 30 months, 3-year event-free survival and overall survival were 67% and 82% respectively.
    Conclusions: In our experience the combination of RCHOP- 14 is highly effective in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma. However special attention must be paid to the control of early and late toxicities.
